WHICH 970 to use??? IM LOST :(

fongj1821 · Feb 27, 2016

Galax GeForce GTX970 Gamer OC Mini 4GB GDDR5 or an ASUS STRIX 970
currently the shops in my area only have these 2 models of 970 left.

I read that a Mini galax performs the same as a normal 970 so im still thinking on which to get and will it fit my motherboard as im not familiar with these mini cards.

Motherboard: B75M-D3V (GIGABYTE)

THANKS

As long as they will both fit in the case , I would get the STRIX.
1 x PCI Express x16 slot, running at x16

Board has the 3.0 SLOT.

But why may I know the reason behind this choice?

And the Galax is cheaper by 70 aud 439 vs 509

Strix is a better card manufacturer , I trust their quality , but the choice is yours , make sure you have a decent 550w PSU with the proper connections to run it.

Thanks for your feedback..it's abit of a dilemma coz I'm thinking why buy something more expensive when it performs the same... About quality im nt sure about Galax but some reviews say they are good

Go with the Galaxy if reviews are decent , just my preference.

Performance will be about the same.
